GROUND EFFECT RELEASE

So very proud to announce the release of the fourth SAM DELAND CRIME NOVEL, GROUND EFFECT. This book was fun to write and the story took twists and turns even I did not expect. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

Sam Deland, promoted to lieutenant and in charge of a new state police major crimes unit, has to spread his manpower across half the state to go after the killers of a mob wife, a teenager and the horrific murders of the innocent children of Amish farmers. But his troubles soar to a higher level when the FBI and a Texas Ranger descend upon him chasing terrorists into the Pennsylvania hills.

From the arid scrub of south Texas to middle Tennessee and suburban Maryland, murderous terrorists carve a path of death and destruction on their mission to get to the usually serene Pennsylvania Poconos and a strike against sacred American values. Pursued by a determined Texas Ranger, who enlists the help of Sam and his troopers, it’s a race against time and the FBI to find the bad guys before they can kill again.

A story within a story within a story. Real characters, real drama, a bit of humor and what makes men and women men and women. Sam has to keep it all from falling apart around him and deal with the pressure from above, outside and his own inner doubts. Another thrilling Sam Deland Crime Novel by the author of Sink Rate, Rope Break and Side Slip.

Thank you. Some new characters and new drama. Though it was written a while ago many of the themes are suddenly very contemporary. The border, terrorism and local law enforcement keeping the FBI in line.

Hmmm, we’ll be in the States in May. My first visit. I’m hoping we don’t run into any of those kinds of problems! We see so much on the news – all bad of course. But all the hoteliers I have telephoned so far sound extremely courteous, so we are expecting to meet only nice folks 🙂
